Hello,
Please consider the figure produced by "im = imshow(scipy.misc.face())". The
message in the Toolbar reflects the position of the cursor and displays for
example:
"x=843.9 y=384.7 [91, 102, 88]"
I changed the method "im.axes.format_coord()" in order to show specific
information in the Toolbar message, and this works fine.
However, the value of the cursor data, i.e. the string " [91, 102, 88]" in the
example above, is still printed after my home-made coordinate information.
PROBLEM: I don't want this information to be displayed.
NOT A SOLUTION: I overrode the method "im.format_cursor_data()" so that it
returns either "" or 'None'. However, in both cases, the brackets are still
displayed, showing either " []" or " [None]", which I find unsatisfactory.
It seems that the brackets are hardcoded in
"backend_bases.NavigationToolbar2.mouse_move()".
Is there a clean way to get rid of the cursor data and the brackets?
If not, I suggest the patch below. Does it make sense? The effect is simply
that if "im.format_cursor_data()" returns 'None', no cursor data will be
appended to the coordinate information.
Best regards,
Olivier
